Start simple. Your home is the first and easiest choice for showcasing your dollhouse. Dedicate an entire room to displaying it, if you have the space. If not, find a prominent area of a room that gets heavy pedestrian traffic and place your dollhouse there.

Invest in a pretty table and/or lighting. An attractive table on which to set your dollhouse will enhance the overall image of the house. Special lighting for the corner of the room where you have placed the dollhouse will also create a museum-like feel for your display. You can find a table and lighting at most department stores and building supply stores.

Take your dollhouse on the road. Most miniature shows have exhibits of showcase dollhouses that enthusiasts have created. If you would like your dollhouse to have a larger audience than the one in your living room, displaying it at a miniature show is a good option.

Tips & Warnings
When transporting your dollhouse to a miniature show, make sure it is well secured in your vehicle. Packing it in a box with ample packing material surrounding it to keep it immobile is best.
Be sure to remove the furniture before packing the dollhouse. You should pack the furniture separately and set it up once you get to the show.
